There is mounting pressure from the government and employers to fundamentally change our healthcare system and focus on improving outcomes, increasing access to medical care, and moving away from a pay-for-service model. Central to these changes is a healthcare system that aligns incentives with behaviors from health plans, providers, and patients that focuses on improving the continuum of care.

Value-Based Reimbursement is the embodiment of these changes. With the growing complexity of provider contracts, the system and processes have to integrate the performance and quality that will drive reimbursement methodologies. Only through this comprehension and alignment can the goal of Value-Based Reimbursement be achieved.
